This is a good example of a “mystery scam” message. The scammer uses the name “Donna Kwok” and has something urgent to discuss with you. What is it? The only way you can find out is by replying to “Donna” — but don’t do it! That’s the hook the scammer will use to try to get you talking first, and then eventually to pick your pocket.

I am getting in touch with you regarding an extremely important and urgent matter. If you would oblige me the opportunity, I shall provide you with details upon your response.

Thanks

Donna Kwok

This is about as short as a “mystery scam” message can get. “Mr Adrie Kone” (or is it “Adrien Kone”?) says there is $5 million dollars waiting for you. Alas, if you reply, you’ll find he’s just another scammer trying to pick your pocket — and he figures a short message is just as good a way to hook you as a long one.

This is a typical “mystery scam” message, offering a mysterious proposal from an unknown person. It’s just another version of the good old “advance fee fraud,” and if you reply it will only end with the scammer picking your pocket.

This is the ultimate in “mystery scam” messages — just one line with no signature or name. Someone has a check for you. But who is it? And why? Actually we know the answer: it is a scammer, and the purpose of the (non-existent) check is to serve as a gimmick to pick your pocket.

Scammers have discovered that they don’t always need to send long and convoluted messages to hook their victims — sometimes a short mysterious message will do just as well. In this example, sent randomly to thousands of people around the world, “Mr. Xiao Gang” is hoping that if you’ll just answer him, he can find a way to trick you into sending him money. Like a sleazy salesman, he just wants to get you on the hook, and then he can take as long as he likes to reel you in.

I have a business proposal for you. If you are interested. Please revert back for more details.

Regards,
Mr. Xiao Gang

Important Note

Please be aware that scammers often use the names of real people and legitimate businesses in their fraudulent messages. Why? To lend an air of legitimacy to their criminal enterprise. Just because the name of a real person or a real bank or a real government agency appears in a scam message that doesn't mean the person or organization in question is involved in the scam in any way. The scammers are just stealing these names in order to make themselves look legitimate.
